NAME
mysqlhotcopy - a database backup program
SYNOPSIS
mysqlhotcopy arguments
DESCRIPTION
mysqlhotcopy is a Perl script that was originally written and
contributed by Tim Bunce. It uses FLUSH TABLES, LOCK TABLES, and cp or
scp to make a database backup. It is a fast way to make a backup of the
database or single tables, but it can be run only on the same machine
where the database directories are located. mysqlhotcopy works only
for backing up MyISAM and ARCHIVE tables. It runs on Unix.
To use mysqlhotcopy, you must have read access to the files for the
tables that you are backing up, the SELECT privilege for those tables,
the RELOAD privilege (to be able to execute FLUSH TABLES), and the LOCK
TABLES privilege (to be able to lock the tables).
shell> mysqlhotcopy db_name [/path/to/new_directory]
shell> mysqlhotcopy db_name_1 ... db_name_n /path/to/new_directory
Back up tables in the given database that match a regular expression:
shell> mysqlhotcopy db_name./regex/
The regular expression for the table name can be negated by prefixing
it with a tilde (“~”):
shell> mysqlhotcopy db_name./~regex/
mysqlhotcopy supports the following options, which can be specified on
the command line or in the [mysqlhotcopy] and [client] groups of an
option file. For information about option files, see Section 4.2.3.3,
“Using Option Files”.
· --help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
· --addtodest
Do not rename target directory (if it exists); merely add files to
it.
· --allowold
Do not abort if a target exists; rename it by adding an _old
suffix.
· --checkpoint=db_name.tbl_name
Insert checkpoint entries into the specified database db_name and
table tbl_name.
· --chroot=path
Base directory of the chroot jail in which mysqld operates. The
path value should match that of the --chroot option given to
mysqld.
· --debug
Enable debug output.
· --dryrun, -n
Report actions without performing them.
· --flushlog
Flush logs after all tables are locked.
· --host=host_name, -h host_name
The host name of the local host to use for making a TCP/IP
connection to the local server. By default, the connection is made
to localhost using a Unix socket file.
· --keepold
Do not delete previous (renamed) target when done.
· --method=command
The method for copying files (cp or scp). The default is cp.
· --noindices
Do not include full index files for MyISAM tables in the backup.
This makes the backup smaller and faster. The indexes for reloaded
tables can be reconstructed later with myisamchk -rq.
· --password=password, -ppassword
The password to use when connecting to the server. The password
value is not optional for this option, unlike for other MySQL
programs.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, “End-User Guidelines for Password
Security”. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
on the command line.
· --port=port_num, -P port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use when connecting to the local server.
· --old_server
As of MySQL 5.5.3, mysqlhotcopy uses FLUSH TABLES tbl_list WITH
READ LOCK to flush and lock tables. Use the --old_server option if
the server is older than 5.5.3, which is when that statement was
introduced. This option was added in MySQL 5.5.3.
· --quiet, -q
Be silent except for errors.
· --record_log_pos=db_name.tbl_name
Record master and slave status in the specified database db_name
and table tbl_name.
· --regexp=expr
Copy all databases with names that match the given regular
expression.
· --resetmaster
Reset the binary log after locking all the tables.
· --resetslave
Reset the master.info file after locking all the tables.
· --socket=path, -S path
The Unix socket file to use for connections to localhost.
· --suffix=str
The suffix to use for names of copied databases.
· --tmpdir=path
The temporary directory. The default is /tmp.
· --user=user_name, -u user_name
The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.

information about the structure of the tables needed for the
--checkpoint and --record_log_pos options:
